Hi all, this is just my second ever grow, and I intend using a movable scrog method.
My equipment is as follows:
Plans -
If you look at some close up photographs of the base of the Autopot system, you will notice they have 6 holes around the top edges with a diameter of 9mm. I will be purchasing some PVC/Plastic piping of 8/9mm diameter then this will form the foundation/support for my scrog net. I will do this by hack-sawing a slit into the top of the pipe to enable me to push my scrog wire netting into it. This way, I can remove the whole tray, including two plants and scrog in one movement. Then I can easily get to the tray at the back of the tent for maintenance.
Im trying to maximize the floor space as much as possible. The same principle with the tube heaters they take up no space.
Do you think 5 plants are too many for a scrog in a 1x1m space?
Does my lighting set-up seem ok?
Timeline -
Jan 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] 2013 Germinated the seeds
Jan 5[SUP]th[/SUP] Popped the germinated seedlings into peat bullets and put them in the propagation unit.
Jan 8[SUP]th[/SUP] First photo of my little babies for you to see.
I will be updating this on a regular basis. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a bit of a newbie, so it's all a learning curve. I learnt a stack from my first grow.
